About Mount

Helix

Mount Helix, located between La Mesa Village and Spring Valley, is a hillside and residential La Mesa neighborhood with panoramic views and winding scenic roads. The neighborhood’s character concentrates at the Mount Helix Park amphitheater, where stone terraces, trailheads, and sunset watchers set a calm, outdoorsy rhythm. Custom mid-century homes and contemporary rebuilds follow the ridgelines, with mature landscaping and long driveways shaping a private feel. Short climbs lead to overlooks, while canyons and open space keep the terrain front-and-center. Community pillars include the Mount Helix Park amphitheater, the La Mesa Depot Museum, and the La Mesa Community Center for local events and classes.

Urban Residential District

The RU Use Regulations are intended to create and enhance areas where permanent family residential uses are permitted and institutional residential care uses are conditionally permitted and civic uses are permitted when they serve the needs of the residents. Typically, the RU Use Regulations would be applied to rural, suburban, or urban areas where adequate levels of public services are available. Various applications of the RU Use Regulations with appropriate development designators can create areas which have a single-family character or areas which, because of the scale of structures, are recognizable as high-density areas.

Permitted uses
